XFCE 4.10 on Ubuntu 12.04

Jun 092012

I’m a Xubuntu user, and so i was a bit disappointed that for some days my Xubuntu 12.04 missed the 4.10 release of XFCE.

Luckily there is an easy way to install this version of XFCE on Ubuntu, there is an PPA that can bring the new feature of XFCE in your Ubuntu in few minutes.

Just open a terminal and give these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Once everything is done you’ll have to log out and login again, congratulations you now have XFCE 4.10.

Let’s see what are the features of this new release.

This software is a collection of bash scripts that allow you to control through a distributed revision system our directory /etc/ where there are the configuration files of most of our Linux daemons. You could do the same thing without etckeeper leaning on a revision system such as darcs or git, but you must remember that for this directory is essential to maintain, for each file, its permissions and also its owner and group as well as the entire structure including empty directory.

Etckeeper helps us in the management, automating many of these tasks. Continue reading »

This is a terrible news for my spare time, a new, and IMO really good, Humble Indie Bundle (HIB) is out and there are some really good games in this offer.

This time there are 4 (5) fantastic games and their soundtrack is also available in FLAC and MP3 format, the 5 games are:

Amnesia: The Dark Descent; LIMBO; Psychonauts; Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP; and, for customers who pay more than the average price, the action-RPG, Bastion.

The games are multi-platform, DRM-free, and independently developed, and buyers can set the revenue split between the developers, charities and humble bundle organizers.
